Hey guys,
I'm trying to setup my 2018 fiesta st to be competitive in H-street. I've been looking around for info and a lot of it isn't consistent with other threads. I want to hear from people who autocross in H-street maybe even do some national events. My questions are listed below.
1) Wheels and tires: I'm gonna go with a 16 inch 42mm offset wheels. What size tires do you guys recommend? I know people either run 205-45-16s or 205-50-16s re71s. The 205-50-16s are cheaper but I'm worried about increasing the center of gravity and making the fiesta potentially even more of a roll over risk.
2) Alignment: I know the rear doesn't have any adjustment. For the fronts I should try to get as much negative camber as I can get? What about toe?
3) Shocks and suspension: How viable in the suspension? I was thinking about getting koni yellows in the rear. Is the adjustment worth it? The car seems to be pretty tail happy as is. The 2018 already has a stiffer front bar than the earlier years and the car is already lifting the rear wheel quite a bit, does a thicker rear bar improve anything?
4) catback and air filter. What catback and airfilter do yo guys recommend? I daily this car so I don't want something super loud.
Thanks guys.
